Making Your Very Own Probiotic Face Mask

Many people know about Natren Probiotics. This is the first name that comes to the mind when speaking about probiotics. It has also been understood by people that probiotics can be of good help in improving digestion and boosting the health of the immune system. However, there are very people who are aware of the fact that probiotics like Natren can also be applied topically on the skin.

The Benefits of Using a Probiotic Face Mask

The skin is the largest organ in the body and it has its very own exclusive set of different micro-organisms. Beneficial bacteria found in the skin work in a similar manner like beneficial bacteria in the gut offering a solid layer of protection. Regular skin care involves face cleansing and moisturizing and this can help in removing beneficial skin flora. A probiotic face mask helps in rehydrating the skin; nourishing and moisturizing the skin; soothing and softening the skin; making the skin look and feel refreshed and gently exfoliating the skin to be firm. Making use of probiotics for taking care of the skin is not a new thing. Women have long been using plant extracts and milk on their bodies for enhancing the health of their skin and for getting a good glow. Probiotics offer certain natural ingredients specifically designed for supplementing the important micro flora of the skin and for nourishing it at the same time.

Two Important Ingredients for Making a Probiotic Face Mask

There are two important ingredients required for making a probiotic face mask at home and they are Natren’s Digesta-Lac Dairy Powder and aloe vera. The probiotic powders from Natren perform very well because they are made using a proprietary manufacturing procedure that helps in keeping the intrinsic supernatant intact. This has the user receiving probiotic bacteria and the added advantages of a supernatant at the same time. The production of the supernatant takes place during the manufacturing procedure. Right in the beginning of the procedure, advantageous bacteria are developed using a nutritionally rich and balanced base known as culturing medium. With the development of bacteria, the original culturing medium gets transformed into a supernatant. The supernatant should not be considered living bacteria but it is rich nutritionally and is advantageous to both human recipient and bacteria. The other ingredient that is aloe vera can easily be grown at home or purchased from the store. However, when purchasing aloe vera gel from the store, make it a point that it contains 100% aloe vera.

Making and Using the Probiotic Face Mask

You need to mix the aloe vera and Digesta-Lac powder probiotic in equal portions for creating a probiotic face mask. Once the mask is ready, you can apply it onto your face gently by moving your fingers in circular and small patterns. This will have the ingredients working into your skin. Once you are done with the application, leave the mask on your face for 10 to 30 minutes and wash it off with warm water. Your skin is sure to feel moisturized post using the mask because it offers deep cleansing. The skin will also feel clean soft and smooth after the treatment.
